Purchasing
Fat-free evaporated milk is commonly sold in cans with other canned milk products such as sweetened condensed milk.
Special Touch
Looking for an easy way to dress up this classic dish? Simply stir in cooked shrimp with the evaporated fat-free milk and serve with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges.
Did You Know...
Avoid those pasta boil-overs: After water comes to a boil and you add the pasta, cover the saucepan and turn off the heat. (Pasta should be thoroughly covered with water at this point.) Let stand about 15 minutes, stirring once or twice; drain.
Simplify
To make this dish even faster, buy refrigerated fettuccine. Most kinds are ready in just a few minutes.
